I made a Twitter.
I think they're sort've silly.
But I love it.

Things That Make Me Happy
Rather than studying (which I don't really enjoy).. A list..
I have about 18 hours of school left in the year.
- Comments
- When the bus pulls backwards out of the crosswalk so that you can walk by.
- When the bus stops in between stops for you (okay, going to try to not talk about the bus)
- Being woken up by my phone (as long as its after 10 o'clock)
- Songs in Italian (they're just.. so.. much.. better)
- Running in the rain
- Actually running in general
- "I Got A Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas
- Study parties (suddenly things are just better)
- Picnics... in any time of the year
- Sunny amazing shorts wearing weather after a long winter/very cold spring
- Enthusiastic "hellos" in the hallways.
- Watching movies with the little sibs.
- My brother dancing to 96.000
- My grandma dancing to Cats (okay now I'm getting stuck in dance)
- Taking the train instead of the bus
- Late night surprises slash loonng friday nights.
- Catapults
- Traveling (Barcelona/Maine/California/NJ here I come)
- Shared clothing (because that means you don't have to pay for all of it)
- People who offer to let you throw a party... at their house.
- Putting away dishes (just don't ask me to load the dishwasher)
- The sun
- "Playdates"
- Speaking Italian

Beginings
Basically, I keep saying things that should be monologues. And I'm afraid I will forget them... So! Per my friend's request.. here is the beginning of what should be a monologue.
"My birthday is on Pi day. You know three point one four dot dot dot. So people are always giving me pies for my birthday. Except that I really like birthday cake"

Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock
Today was something of a momentous occasion. It was strike for the spring play, the last day of the last play of the year. Which basically means... for the next, oh 32 school days, I am free! I have nothing to do after school, no rehearsal to go to, no lines to memorize... Which sounds lovely, right? Except that I've forgotten how to do nothing.
Oh, I have plans. I'm going to run, drink starbucks, see my friends on weekdays and have time to write more... It'll be more and more amazing the warmer it gets.
But the rapidly warming weather makes me realize that I have been consistently busy since September.
And thinking about September makes me realize how much has happened and how much has time has passed.
Which of course leads to me to realize that this school year is almost over! High school one half done? As someone said to me today "that's cray-cray".
And school being almost over makes me think of prom!
My school has a junior prom and a senior prom. And I'm a sophmore. So technically, I shouldn't be going at all... but through a strange slightly random turn of events I am going, with my ex-boyfriend...as friends (yes, that is weird).
Prom makes me feel old. I'm excited because I harbor a little girl's liking of dressing up but at the same time, I'm not. It might be really fun or it might be just okay, I'm sure I'll have a good time. It's just dawning on me how fast time is slipping by.

Shuffled..
Wow, two posts in one day. I'm def steppin' it up.
So this is something silly I've been wanting to do for awhile... and at the moment, I have a moment or two, so here goes.
First ten songs that come up when my Ipod is shuffled (keeping in mind that this Ipod only holds 200ish songs):
"We Dance" (Once On This Island) ~ Opening from musical I teched for this fall.. oh, dear..
"Here (In Your Arms)" (HelloGoodbye) ~ Oh, so mellow.
"If Everyone Cared" (Nickelback) ~ Nickelback sounds like Hinder which sort've sounds like Daughtry who should've won American Idol.. but didn't.
"Away With The Summer Days" (Youngstown) ~ Princess Diaries... first CD I've bought, ah early 2000s.
"Fabulous" (High School Musical 2) ~ Oh, dear this is getting embarrassing.
"Accidentally In Love" (Counting Crows) ~ :)
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" (Mariah Carey) ~ Clearly have not updated this in a while.. It is the ultimate Christmas/holiday song though.
"Over It" (Anneliese Van Der Pol) ~ Exciting because the singer has my cousin's name. Also the perfect, angry/annoyed/moving on song.
"Can't Hate You Anymore" (Nick Lachey) ~ Another moving on/getting over it song.. weird...
"Superstar feat. Matthew Santos" (Lupe Fiasco) ~ This song is just plain addictive.
Hmm, so that selection completely does not represent me/my musical tastes. Fair enough. Coming soon.. another "currently on my ipod" post!

Celebrate!
It has been awhile m'dears. A million things (both good and bad) have happened and time slipped away, and I realized it's been forever since I've posted anything at all...
Today is Easter and last week was Passover. Even though I am Christian in name, I celebrated both this year. And found both to be meaningful and enjoyable in different ways. Passover more because of the company I spent it in, old friends who I'd forgotten how much I love/miss (but I now remember!). And Easter because I got to see how different members of my family like to celebrate. Because for me Easter (or Passover for that matter) is not about what some holy text says happened around this time. It's about how you chose to spend the day. How you chose to celebrate!
My mum, for instance, sings a certain hymn every Easter. Loudly. If not at church than at least in the car.
My grandparents go to their Universalist Unitarian church, where they sort've celebrate everyone!
Without fail, I will do an egg hunt, which for me isn't even a Christian practice, it's a thank-goodness-it's-supposed-to-get-warmer-slash-oh-my-gosh-we-survived-the-winter kind of tradition.
Easter for me, doesn't mean church or singing, it means watching Godspell (fabulous musical whether you are religious or not.. which I'm not) and seeing my family.
Your own Easter/Passover/Springtime/anything else I'm forgetting traditions?
It's easy to get caught up in what you don't have. I certainly have lately. Or in trying to conform to a certain religion or tradition. Right now the sun is shining and I am not without hope that tomorrow, while it may be insanely busy, will not be brutally cold. And that in and of itself is reason to celebrate.
